1 年So how does this green washing work. Instead of putting packaging in our household bin where a huge % cannot and is not ever recycled. We now take it to the stores we bought it from, to have it hidden ( reclassed as fuel and shipped aboard) or end up exactly in the same place as the stuff we were putting in the bin ? This is Good ?
